xAI Unveils Grok Build Coding Agent for SuperGrok Heavy Subscribers

Elon Musk's xAI has rolled out Grok Build, a new coding agent aimed at professional developers. The beta version is limited to SuperGrok Heavy subscribers, who pay $300 a month for early access. Marketed as a rival to Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's tools, Grok Build arrives amid Musk's admission that xAI has lagged behind competitors in software‑engineering AI. The launch also follows controversy over the Grok model’s earlier generation of sexualized images and a recent acquisition by SpaceX that could see the AI run on orbital data centers.

Jury Weighs Musk's Claims Against OpenAI in High-Stakes Trial

A nine‑person California jury has begun deliberations in the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI, its co‑founders and Microsoft. The jurors must decide whether OpenAI breached a charitable‑trust agreement, unjustly enriched its leaders, and whether Microsoft aided that breach. OpenAI argues the case is barred by statutes of limitations, that Musk delayed his claim unreasonably, and that his own conduct disqualifies him. A verdict could reshape the organization’s for‑profit arm and its relationship with major investors.

Cerebras IPO lifts Benchmark stake to $5 billion after VC’s reluctant first meeting

Cerebras Systems went public Thursday, sending its shares soaring above $300 and turning Benchmark's $270 million investment into a stake worth more than $5 billion. Eric Vishria, the Benchmark partner who reluctantly sat down with the AI‑chip startup in 2016, recalled how a single slide about GPUs sparked his confidence in the fledgling team. After years of engineering hurdles, the wafer‑scale processor finally found a market, attracting customers like OpenAI, AWS and Abu Dhabi’s G42. The IPO’s success marks one of Benchmark’s biggest hardware bets in a decade.

OpenAI Mulls Legal Action Over Apple ChatGPT Deal as Integration Falters

OpenAI is weighing a breach‑of‑contract claim against Apple after the two companies’ ChatGPT‑Siri partnership failed to generate the subscription revenue both expected. Lawyers for the AI firm are consulting an outside firm about sending a formal notice, though no lawsuit has been filed yet. Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 will let users choose rival AI models, and the tech giant has already signed a $1 billion‑per‑year deal with Google for Siri’s core intelligence. The dispute comes amid OpenAI’s broader legal battles and its recent acquisition of Jony Ive’s device startup.

OpenAI Extends Codex to Mobile via ChatGPT App, Broadening Access for All Users

OpenAI announced that its Codex coding platform is now reachable through the ChatGPT mobile app on Android and iOS. The move lets free‑tier and paid ChatGPT users prompt Codex from their phones while the actual code runs on a secure desktop or cloud environment. By routing requests through a protected relay, OpenAI keeps files and credentials on the original machine, offering developers real‑time updates and decision prompts on the go. The rollout follows Anthropic’s Claude Code mobile access and fits into OpenAI’s broader “super‑app” strategy.
